New Tires then clunk
Just put new tires on 07 FXDC and within 2 days of riding had a terrible noise coming from I don't know where. Clunk everytime I hit a bump. After having a terrible accident in 1984 I was scared of having another front wheel lock up. Immediately took it to my local HD dealer who got a mechanic to look at it. It was a loose gas tank (barely) but enough to make you worry. What a minor problem that caused so much worry.
BTW if you bought 1 tire they would sell you the other for $1. So it only cost(?) $520. It was a 1 day sale but I was first in line. Pretty good deal.

I'm glad your happy with the fix of your gas tank. With all the vibrations that these sweethearts put out I guess anything is possible. But two tires for 520 dollars. You could have done much better with the motorcycle superstore. I recently bought two Michilin commander II's for a grand total of 242 dollars. Didn't say that to make you feel bad, but I hope you got kissed, because you certainly got, you know the other thing.

Yes I paid $520 for the tires. As I said I got the lowest priced tire for $1. Now then, this is a Harley Dealer and they must put in new tubes and that rubber band, $85 each for wheel removal and labor (balancing, etc), $2 each for recycling, etc. The rear is a 160/70 B17 K591. Harley price is $216 for just the tire. Front is 100/90 H19 was $245 for which I paid $1. Both are Dunlops. An independent wanted $232 rear, $120 front, plus $65 for each wheel. I don't know if they included the tube but I doubt it. Anyway it was the best deal in town, Phoenix. Do the math.
